HTML or XML diff/merge

hi,

I am looking for a library (i.e. not a standalone GUI program) that can do
diff and merge of HTML or XML, preferably in C# or at least that can be
called from C#

anyone know of such a thing

TIA

XSL (or XSLT) can diff and merge XHTML and XML. El Goog will find you
scripts to do each.

And note that XHTML is very good for your project, and easy to unit test.
(You do _have_ unit tests, don't you?) But note that web browsers typically
only support Transitional XHTML, and some XML tools _don't_ support it. This
paper explores some problems peripheral to your situation:

I am trying to build a diff tool that allows me to compare two HTML files. I am looking for resources on how to achive this. The main problem is that I do not want to simply highlight the line of code where the change happened, but rather the word/text that changed. Example say the html file contains a table with three cells/one row, and all that changes between the two HTML files that I want to compare is the value on the second cell. I...

Is there a tool that will merge XML documents? We also need the reverse, we need to be able to create a Diff of two documents. What we're trying to do is just store differences of documents at different levels of hierarchy in our configuration store. As an example, lets say at a certain hierarchy in our configuration store is the following document: <grid bgColor="Red" fgColor="Green" Width="200" Height="100"> <font name="Arial"...

Hola! I'm preparing my master thesis about a XML Merge Tool implementation and was wondering if there is any open standard for XML diff regarding topics like: - is a diff result computed on the ordered or unordered xml node tree of the compared documents? - what identifiers/criteria should be used by default to match elements of the same type in different documents? - should a diff tool consider move operations or only insert/delete

Hi, I am working on an HTML WYSISYG Wiki and need to display a diff page like WikiPedia does if two people edit a file at the same time to give the second user the diff. Basically with additions in red and deletions in red strike though. There seem to be several in Perl and Python and many diff programs which all seem to be line based and work on text written in PHP.
